closed +13

NQ +80

Now holding 3 ES & NQ hedge shorts

Thanks, Bears, for this dump that provided a good NQ DAYTRADING & HEDGE PROFIT

 

 

 

4th HEDGE SHORT

ES 4019

NQ 12330

 

Looks like the BULLS finally escaped the clutches of the BEARS in that ES 3980-90 zone; green hourly ES candle looks quite bullish

 

BUT, this market is too volatile, still many sellers.... so do not rule out another attempt to break below 3980

 

 

 

BEARS tried to break below ES 3980-90 support zone 3 times but failed

If they do try a 4th time then most likely they will succeed and a retest of last week's LOW is a high probability

Still holding 3 HEDGE SHORTS  -- ES & NQ 

 

Still think this is hammering out a LOW that can be sustained for days.... rally to at least ES 4300

 

 

closed .... order still not filled , .... 29.5 points

NQ + 119.5 points

 Will reopen later ...

 

Added 4th hedge shorts

ES 4013.5
NQ 1235O

WILL ADD another ABOVE ES 4050

WANT to lower risks on this rally, gradually close LONGS except TLT CALLS

Having a bit of a problem with this lower intra range market today 

 

Yes very boring, I'm looking a 50 point plus day lol!!  Profit stop now 4025 buy below, oh anddddd profit stop on my 4000 sold May put at 45.00 for a $ 5 profit if hit.  While I'm letting my 3800 and 3500 continue to lose premium my 4000 is just now showing a profit as premium tanks!!  I'm very sure we'll be above 4000 on Friday why take the risk just in case when there is a profit there.  You never know may resell if hit lol!!

The market went on a consolidation at high today after the big rally last Friday, the signal it sent out is actually bullish ......................

Well surprise surprise, the markets up this morning.   Another night of no profit stops as I knew my guys would keep the market up.  Could see it pullback a bit more by the cash open so will put a profit stop on at 4060 and see after that.  May put trades are looking great now as were 4 trading days out.  Would love to see the market up a bit more for a short but we'll see how the day goes, the battle for 4000 may continue all week!!!!
